Would it please be possible to have a spill for groups similar to the DCA spill?
I use a combination of groups (as sub groups) and DCAs for general control over my mix – I like to have these visible in one fader layer so that I can see/control all of the elements needed for the gig in one place without having to think too much about where everything is. It would be extremely useful to have a group spill button to act like a DCA spill in this use case.
Example:
Say if I had 8 string mics sent to a string-bus for some general group EQ, I wouldn’t feel the need to assign them to a DCA as well as I have the control I need from the group fader. I can then save DCAs for channels that don’t require group processing. The downside to not assigning the string mics to a DCA as well is that I would not then be able to spill the tracks and access them from my preferred mixing fader layer currently.
On a side note, aside from anything, when I have channels sent to both a subgroup and a DCA, I find it can get quite hard to keep tab of gain staging/volume changes.
Perhaps it’s because I’m used to SSLs useful query button (which is great as, not only does it work as a spill for VCAs and Groups/Auxes but it also works in reverse to show track assignments – but thats whole other topic), but it’d be amazing if the groups could also spill.
Thanks a lot!
